Kimi Antonelli has officially gone from Formula 1’s next big thing to its youngest-ever World Champion, and at just 20, the Italian has plenty to celebrate. The Mercedes driver sealed the 2026 Drivers’ Championship at the Mexico City Grand Prix, adding a history-making title to a career that’s only just getting started. But while his race-day wardrobe comes with team logos and fireproof layers, it’s his off-duty style that gives us a different kind of paddock intel. Away from the cockpit, there’s room to trade lap times for laid-back fits, and race suits for everyday staples with personality. With the championship trophy now in hand, we’re taking a closer look at Kimi Antonelli’s off-duty looks, one outfit at a time.
Gucci, Denim And A Choker

Antonelli chose denim at Milan Fashion Week. Black jeans and a basic black t-shirt with a washed-grey Gucci monogram jacket. Layered necklaces and a silver buckle belt give the otherwise simple ensemble a hint of rock ‘n’ roll attitude. The jacket does the heavy lifting, while the styling remains simple. Think of it as a lesson in putting a bit more effort into regular denim. And we see the choker.
The Case For Tonal Dressing

White-on-white can go terribly wrong, but this look gets the balance right. The relaxed overshirt and trousers are offset by an almost-sheer vest, while a brown belt breaks up the palette and layered silver necklaces bring a little extra personality. It’s giving summer in the Mediterranean, with just enough styling to suggest the outfit wasn’t entirely an afterthought.
A Little Paddock Grunge

The paddock is practically its own dress code, and this look leans right into it. A sponsor-covered Mercedes jacket, black hoodie and loose cargos make up the base, with wired earphones, sunglasses hooked onto the front and the commitment to the black choker remains unmatched.

It’s all about not taking yourself too seriously. As if the Adidas camouflage tee wasn’t already making a statement, there are beaded bracelets, the choker, and of course, chunky sunglasses. It’s a little playful, a little streetwear, and we’re here for it.

It’s the sort of look that makes a case for taking tailoring a little less seriously. The grey collarless jacket and matching trousers bring the polish, but a white tee and taupe Adidas Sambas keep things from feeling too buttoned-up. Tinted glasses add a retro touch, while the chunky green-dial watch brings a welcomed hint of colour. Who said a suit always needs a dress shoe and a serious attitude?
It’s Giving Skater Boy?

The burgundy tee and off-white cargos are classic paddock fare, Antonelli really likes his tinted glasses and black choker. Add the printed pocket and stacked bracelets, and you have a casual fit with some Y2K skater energy. The vibe? He had five minutes to get dressed and still got the memo.
Satin After Dark

The satin bomber, the washed-grey jeans, the glossy loafers. It’s giving off-duty Gucci boy, with the jacket doing just enough to take a basic jeans-and-top combination out for dinner. The fit is relaxed, and honestly, if you’re going to wear jeans to a fashion dinner, this is a pretty good way to do it.
Sage Advice On Dressing

For the final look, we’re ending on a sage-green co-ord, because apparently even his tailoring has range. A ribbed white vest keeps things casual, while the tinted glasses and layered necklaces make their obligatory appearance. At this point, the choker-and-tinted-glasses combo deserves its own paddock pass.
The championship may be won on the F1 track, but the off-duty wardrobe? Definitely making its own podium.
